A note from Gary McKenzie

"I'm thrilled to take over the reins as President of the Arklow and District Chamber of Commerce, and I'm eager to work alongside our exceptional committee and dedicated members.

My journey brings together diverse experiences that fuel my passion for empowering businesses and fostering local growth.  

My career has spanned continents, spearheading the establishment and operations of Telecoms and Energy businesses in Australia, Asia, Ireland & UK, to leading teams in the Irish energy sector. For the recent eight years, I've proudly served Glen Fuels, providing both traditional oil solutions and innovative sustainable energy options.

This unique blend of international and local experience, coupled with my seven years on the Chamber committee, has instilled in me a deep understanding of the challenges and opportunities businesses face in Arklow and beyond. I'm committed to leveraging my knowledge and connections to advocate for our members, foster collaboration, and drive impactful initiatives that propel our community forward.

Together, we can create a vibrant environment where businesses thrive, jobs are created, and our community flourishes. I'm energised by the challenges ahead and excited to work with each of you to shape a brighter future for Arklow and District."
